Achievements in Engineering #14, Period 2 Monday

Once again, class met in the Danger Shop. Mike waited for everyone to arrive before launching into an explanation of the simulation. "This week marks the 36th anniversary of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon," he began. "Now, I'm sure that you kids from the future or alternate universes probably travel to the moon every day, but in this time period, it's pretty rare. As of 2008, only 12 humans have walked on the surface of the moon and the last of those was Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17. It is a feat that no one has accomplished since."

Mike passed around the usual handouts before proceeding. "Today, we're going to walk in the steps of the Apollo astronauts. We'll visit a simulation of the Taurus-Littrow Valley and explore the Lunar Module. Oh, and there's also a Lunar rover available if anyone wants to take it for a spin."

"I like the amusement park idea, but why signing whalers on the moon?" asked Mike.

"Fun-geering recreation of the first astronauts on the Sea of Tranquility," sad Bender. "If you had a gang of singing robots whalers what else'd you with them?"
